Priests hold the power as to whether this fight will be done in a UBRS run. If they need their Devout it will, if they don't it won't.

Comment by Nines

One of the leading causes of wipes in UBRS is from this encounter.

Any run i have been on requests to do this event are always met with groans and pleading to skip it.

The event itself is not overly hard, but it is easy to break the eggs and aggro a good deal of whelps which love to tear your cloth classes apart.

It is the site of the famous Leeroy Jenkins video, for those who are wondering.

spawns at the end of Father Flame event, at about 55;43 in UBRS

I'm an engineer who wants to farm these guys for the schematic they drop, but I've never been to this instance. In the map it doesn't show their location. Is this guy a boss or a trash mob or what? I can't tell and don't know the location.

BTW, please don't rate me down just for asking a question. :(

To "summon" this boss one needs to use Father Flame at the back of the room. "To use" doesn't mean "to loot". Even if you just right-click Father Flame and don't actually pick it up, dragonkin will spawn (you will see a yell in chat).

Also a note to people who for one reason or another decide to skip this event and do it after General Drakkisath: you can't do them in that order. After you kill general, using Father Flame won't spawn dragonkin. I don't know if it's a bug or it's the way it's supposed to be, but fact is: if you want to do it, do it right away, when you first arrive in the Rookery. Else skip it for good.

I've been farming for the engineering plans that this guy drops, and thought I'd make it a bit easier for anyone looking to do the same. I never played WoW before Burning Crusade, so I was easily lost when trying to find this guy (Before I start, I should mention that other people have had problems with trying to summon Solakar after clearing BRS - evidently this does not work, possibly a bug, although I haven't tried it myself. Imo, do Solakar first thing upon entering BRS)

The path is simple enough, when you first enter BRS go up the stairs and go to the left with the room full of Rage Talon dragons. Kill everything in the room, and then the doors at the end will swing open (I wouldn't recommend aggroing everything then killing them all, as is my typical MO, as the Summoners will continuously summon mobs, and the Summoned Veterans can get rather annoying with their charge and knockback).

Enter the next room, and right click on the altar on the left side. After a few seconds, you can now kill the Incarcerators stationed around the room (once you attack one, they all will come at you). Once that's done, the Fire elemental in the middle will eventually break free. Killing him gets you to the next room Where Solakar Flamewreath resides. This is also the room where the famous Leeroy Jenkins video is, and where you can get the achievement Leeeeeeeeeeeeeroy!

Walk in and head to the left - it doesn't matter whether you kill the two guards or not - and you will see a glowing crystal near the wall. Click it as to loot, and you can get Father Flame. By right clicking it you'll see a yell, and two dragonkin will come to attack you. There are 6 waves of two dragonkin each, with about 30 seconds of downtime between them (as I did this on my 80 pally not sure if its 30 seconds from the time you kill them or the time that they spawn, since I killed them almost instantly). After the 6th wave Solakar will yell at you and spawn.

So there you have it! Step by step instructions on how to get to Solakar. Hope this helps those of you who, like me, get lost in the larger Pre-BC dungeons. Have fun farming, and GL!

After my third run, I got the plans. Not sure if this is extremely lucky or the average, however.

*edited for ease of reading and success on getting the plans*

can anyone confirm that he can still be spwnd as of 4.2 i was in just a few mins ago clicked the "Father Flame" and nothing just the Blue offhand

Comment by Shamandotcom

Talk about confusing! I'll keep this simple:

Head into UBRS, clear the seven cells to destroy the runes that are locking the doorway out of Dragonspire Hall, and make your way to the Hall of Binding, where you need to kill Pyroguard Emberseer. To do so, click on the alter on the East side of the room. This will interupt the NPCs from their channeling. Kill them all and wait for Emberseer to power up. Once he's down, the doors on the South side of the room will open, leading to The Rookery. You'll see a red crystal against the East wall of The Rookery. Clear a space around it by squishing some of the rookery eggs, and click on the crystal. This will let you loot the off-hand "Father Flame". Then, turn around and wait for several waves of Dragonspawn. They'll come in pairs with lots of time in between. When the last pair has died, Solakar Flamewreath will spawn and attack. Kill, loot, leave. It's JUST that easy! (This might have been tough back in the 1.0 or even 2.0 days, but by now, it's something any level 85 can easily solo.)

For the record, it's close enough to the entrance to reset and run back in, but just far enough in to be annoying. Still, it's very easy to get in 4, possibly 5 attempts in an hour, depending on your character. A little more than 2 hours and ten attempts, total, and I finally got the engineering schematic to craft the Hyper-Radiant Flame Reflector. It just takes some patience. Good luck!

i wonder why this npc aint listed as a boss in Blackrock Spirehe clearly still spawns the same way it has for years

Comment by MABGamer6407

Oddly this boss is not listed as a Boss of this instance, But most likely as hes optimal. Once in the rookery The famous room Of the leroy video and The Leeeroy! Title. Go to the Gem in the far end f thE room. After you click it (Or loot it. does't Mater if you take or not.) You will have to fight a few waves of dragonkin. They usely come in a pair or 3. After maybe 5 or 6 waves with a good 20sec or so Wait in-between, The boss will come. Hes quite a nasty, as he can summon (Hatch) ThE rookey whelps near him so Be ready for a fight. do get to this room, Take the left side from instance, kill the Mobs in the Hall to open the door, fight The fire elemental And there you have it! Good luck all! Best get your achiv while your there too.
